About Me and My Project!

As most of you know, I am an opera singer living outside of New York City. Recently, I have performed leading roles with Opera Naples, Bronx Opera, Cape Cod Opera, Light Opera of New York, and Tri-Cities Opera. Some of my favorite performed roles include Gilda (Rigoletto), Adina (L'elisir d'amore), Fiordiligi (Cosi fan tutte), and Carlisle Floyd's Susannah!  This past year has been a successful competition year for me, and I have won Grand Prizes in the Jenny Lind Competition, Connecticut Concert Opera's Competition, 5 Towns Music and Arts Foundation Competition, and The Marcella Kochanska Sembrich Competition. In addition, this year I have also won 2nd Place at the Kosciuszko Foundation's Marcella Sembrich Competition, the Bel Canto Award at the Orpheus Competition, and was a Grant Winner from CareerBridges Foundation!

    As part of my win at the Kosciuszko Foundation's Marcella Sembrich Competition last May, they entered me in the International Moniuszko Competition, held in Warsaw, Poland every 3 years. I was chosen to compete in the competition- one of 70 competitors from around the world! This competition will be held May 11-18, and I am planning to extend my time (May 4-22) to make full use of the trip to Europe by setting up auditions and other competitions.  As a young American singer, an audition trip to Europe can be an amazing career-broadening experience. The opportunities will truly be endless if I am able to take my singing outside of the United States!  I have been in contact with several companies already regarding auditions; the countries I am planning to audition in lie mainly in Eastern Europe- Poland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, and Germany, and I am also exploring several other possibilities to make the trip a huge success!

   

How Can You Help?

As I'm sure you're aware, an audition trip to Europe is full of expenses, and funding such a trip is certainly not easy! All in all, my projected total expenses will be around $5600. Budget Items include: Eurail Global Pass, Accomodations/Food, Local RyanAir/SmartWing/EasyJet tickets, Coaching/Pianist Fees, Audition Fees, Cell Phone/ Internet, and Local Transport.

Many of you all have been so supportive of me and my career throughout the years, and I truly would not be doing what I love if it weren't for all of you! It is supporters of the arts which keep this magical thing called opera alive and well! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering a donation!!

If I make above and beyond my goal, I will put the money toward future audition trips, which are always taking place!

If you can't contribute financially, don't worry!! You can help me also by sharing this page to anyone you think might be interested!
